At ignition (to), explosive fuel combustion
carries the rocket from its stationary
position near the space outpost by
producing a ~steady thrust F over the
t seconds of the brief burn.

A simple circuit consists of a resistor R,
a capacitor C charged to a potential V,
and a switch that is initially open but
then closed. The moment the switch is
closed, the current in the circuit is
1) V / R
2) zero
3) need more information

Since the voltage falls 63% of the way to 0 V in time t = 
Slower fall off means greater 
Since  = RC  C =
/R
Greater   greater C

Q = CV When capacitor charged, I = 0, so V across resistor = 0
Loop rule says V across capacitor is  for each capacitor
